And which console, sir, would your friends buy? How to they make decisions? You see, in every fucking tablet or smartphone review you get tons of technical details and comparison charts. Great tech is of major importance there, although the tasks a tablet/smartphone needs too fullfill are really scaleable, basically: if you don't want to play games on it, it doesn't make a huge difference if the processor is 1,0 or 1,4ghz. But still, authors point out the performance in detail and compare it between different deveices because, that's what you pay for.
What I want to say is: Tech for a smartphone/tablet is much much less important under real life conditions than for a console. Also, new tablets/smartphones spawn like every week. New consoles just every 5-7 years and what we will see on these things is major dependant on their performance. And so far, it's one major fuck up that people just don't write the truth in MAJOR BOLD LETTERS on their webseits: PS4 is cheaper for way more performance.
Just read all that Digital Foundry FUD and maybe you do understand, that either a) all journalists don't know jackshit about tech and don't give a fuck, which would make them bad journalists or b) there is a certain company which says "we don't want you to write that". It is not by accided that GT decided to make two seperate, pretty neutral videos about the console instead of doing a "head to head" one, which would be far more orientating. These two vids could just be released by the companies themselves.
